I came across an interesting article from Education Week with 10 ideas for supporting students impacted by trauma. It can be located here.

Interested in donating to the United Way? Additional pamphlets of information can be found at the mailboxes or on the counter outside Miriam’s office.

AR Update: Miriam negotiated us a pro-rated rate for AR (even got myON reading for free!) and PTO will be cutting us a check for payment soon. We should be up and running in early January. 🙂


Over the next couple of PLC meeting cycles I will be stopping by to meet with your team to sign-off on SLGGs. This should only take 5-10 minutes. I’m planning to use these meetings as a Professional Mini-Observation.

We have penciled in the December fire drill next week.
